Querida Mama , Mariela Campbell - August 21, 2008

New Mark Campbell CD to be released October 2008 - December 25, 2007

Evidently I recorded too many songs for one album , so there will be either be a double set , or at least a bunch of short songs on one CD , with a secret link to another website full of other songs to listen to , for a limited time after the release . Maybe not .Woo hoo .

New demo added : Angel Eyes by John Hiatt . - November 12, 2007

One of my favorite songs of all time . What a writer .

New songs recorded for the new CD . - October 20, 2007

It's been awhile since I moved on the project , but it came in a flurry of inspiration . One is very Creedence Clearwater-ish . The other is a new type of music never heard before by anyone , or at least that's what I'm sayin' .
